If Wally was sucking Nutt's balls like some you imply, then why did Teresa Prewitt write him that long scatching Dec. 6 email mentioned in the 48 page document? Given the subject matter and as pissed as she seemed, I'd bet Wally wrote a really critical article of Nutt which was before any scandal broke.

Yes, Wally was late in the game, but better than never like the others. You can't expect a writer for conservative paper to go viral like a message board poster. You never know if his few, late critiques didn't help tip the wagon. And I don't recall he criticizing the fans either.

This is all pretty simple. The Demo/Gaz, that paragon of conservative thought (according to you, who is looking at it from a less than middle of the road prism), FOIed the phone records, did nothing with it, and had them long enough for someone to REALIZE they had the records and were sitting on them, doing nothing, to the point they finally FOIED THE FOI-ERS. What is so difficult about this?

And why are you defending a writer from a hated conservative paper?

Because when other sports writers were defending Broyles, repeatedly using his name and 'legend' in the same sentence, Hall was slamming his administration. And for that, i was grateful. You boys are are a narcissistic bunch to believe your internet bullying got Broyles fired. In a series of articles in January 2007, hall skewered the UA administration, doing far more damage than Woopig could dream of. The gazette has thousands more readers than Woopig. And that is reality. Or perhaps you all are so arrogant, you believe you create your own reality. Wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, you're right. It was Hall. It had nothing at all to do with any message boarders exposing Paw-Paw as a couple McNuggets shy of a Happy Meal.

WTF? When did I say any of that? Talk about red herrings.

I'm saying Wally Hall didn't go after Dale when he could have, sat on things until it was safe, THEN went after him. The FOI series of events proves my point, not yours.

And talk about an alternate reality...just read some of your own posts in the Politics/Religion thread 'fore you pass that sobriquet onto someone else.

No stache needed...that's the truth. I had very little to do with anything. I think I read through some of the phone records once but I never really did anything meaningful, certainly nothing compared to what a lot of others did.

I finally had a few minutes to waste on your sorry ass. From the Arkansas Democrat archives on Wally Hall articles during the turmoil on the hill:

Still plenty of questions surrounding Arkansas Abstract: Despite the fact this Arkansas Razorbacks football season has turned out much better than most expected, there seems to be an undercurrent of dysfunction.

Feuding Hogs need to kiss, make up, move on Abstract: As the comments Mitch Mustain made about Houston Nutt in the book Year of the Dog were made public last week, Sam Olajubutu did exactly what you would expect.

Slipping out back door after trumpeted entrance Abstract: Apparently, the why Gus Malzahn made the move to Tulsa might never be known. The real why, that is.

Integrity of Razorbacks program in question Abstract: It started early Tuesday morning, long before the second wheel came off.

Stability, some offensive balance a good start Abstract: Wednesday was the e-mail day from hades. They started at 6:01 in the morning and seemed to come nonstop before, during and after the much-needed damage control news conference. There were some e-mails supportive of Houston Nutt. There were more e-mails su ...Date: 01/18/2007

Ad simply a reflection of UA fans’ concerns Abstract: Here’s everything I know about the now infamous ad: It was paid for. That’s all I know. I’m not saying this because ads help pay my salary, which they do for everyone at this newspaper, but to be perfectly honest I didn’t see that much wrong with it. I th ...Date: 01/19/2007

Love for team behind Razorbacks’ ‘soap opera’ Abstract: There really is no but. Houston Nutt is a good man, father, husband, son and coach.

These arrows sting Abstract: The time is upon us once again to chart the standing of prominent Arkansans by launching our customary arrows. Some are up, a few are down and many are just plain stuck.

Arkansas fans clamoring to have voices heard Abstract: A good friend in the media offered some strong advice Monday. “When reporters are completely and totally sick of a story, that is when the public is most interested.” That appears to be a very true statement where the Arkansas Razorbacks football program ...Date: 01/24/2007

Now think again, dickhead. Was it really you and the wilded-eye, Woopiggers that ridded us of Houston Dale Nutt? To loose Nutt, Broyles had to go. Think again, fuckhead. Think good, you weak, cumsucking piece of aMm. Read those headlines, look at the dates, consider the timeline of events surrounding the FIOA. Did Wally Hall really sit on this story? I wouldn't doubt that he didn't run with it without going through council if he wasn't stupid like you.

Now, present your argument with the timeline of the Gazette's FIOA and the others FIOA. Now, how long did Wally really sit on the story? What part did he play in getting rid of Broyles? To loose the Nutt, meant loosing Broyles and without Wally's help, we'd still have Broyles and no Petrino.

Fuck you if you think I should spend a dime accessing these archived articles. You can prove me wrong if you want to try.

Around 2004, I was getting pretty deep into Klonopin, due to having a job that was about 75% air travel and subsequent severe insomnia.

Several times people responded to emails I had sent them and I would scroll down to read my own words, suggestions for weekend plans and agreements to go to dinner, etc and I would be amazed. (this was back when people used to email)

I had no recollection of ever sending several of those emails. I have wondered many times how many dates I made or meetings that I never attended because I scheduled them in a Klonopin haze.

That's as close to the key scene of Fight Club as I have ever felt. It was like an out of body experience.

Yeah, eat that shortstop6! You and that bunch that FOI'ed Hooot's records didn't have a damn thing to do with getting rid of Hooot. You bunch of bastards just created a 48 page pile of worthlessness.

It was all C. Wallace Hall.

Bish!

YEOWZAH! I shan't go on WP in a wine haze again. Of course the heroes who FOI'd Nutt's records and provided that excellent analysis deserves most of the credit and many of the WPers deserve some credit for keeping the heat on. But that may not have been enough to run off Broyles by himself. My argument was that Wakky didn't deserve the criticism given here because I recall he wrote a series of articles that weren't flattering to Broyles and the program and soon after that, Broyles was headed to the door. Not the other way around.

Now seriously, what was the timeline b/w the release of the 48 page document and Wall's 1/17 article listed above? I don't think it was long.
